Do I need to sign up to use the QR generator?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, no accounts or sign-ups. Paste your link, customize the design and download the file.

What 3D file format do I need for my printer?

The recommended format is 3MF, the standard for modern printers. It stores both colors you pick inside it, so the slicer assigns each part to its filament automatically. STL is available as an alternative for older printers.

Can a 3D-printed QR code be scanned with a phone?

Yes, as long as there's good contrast between the two colors and each module of the code is at least 1.5 mm. The tool warns you about these limits in real time.

Can I add my logo to the center of the QR?

Yes, you can upload your logo or choose an emoji for the center, both in the 2D image and converted into a relief in the 3D object.

🔒 100% private — everything is generated in your browser, nothing is uploaded to any server.

Works with links of any length; the more text, the denser the code. Recommended to print objects of at least 6×6 cm so phones can read it well.

Why 3D

A QR you can touch

A paper QR code can get lost, wet, or wrinkled on a table. A 3D-printed QR code is a permanent object: a table stand that lasts for years in a restaurant, a keychain a guest takes home after an event, or a plaque fixed by the door of a rental with the WiFi password on it. QR Tangible is the first tool built specifically for that leap: from the screen to a physical object, without losing the code's readability along the way.

The technical key is in the color. A 3MF file isn't just a 3D mesh: the materials are stored inside the file itself, so when you open it in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer or Creality Print, each part of the object — the base and the code relief — already appears assigned to a distinct color. That's what gives the printed QR real contrast so it can be scanned with a phone, instead of a colorless relief like you'd get with a plain STL.

You can generate the code in seconds, without creating an account or installing anything: the whole process — the QR design, the 3D geometry calculation, and the final file generation — happens right in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload (your link, your logo, your WiFi password) ever leaves your device.
